Fettuccine Alfredo is a Italian main course recipe that takes about 15 min from start to finish and serves 4. It calls for 6 ingredients across 1 step, and is rated medium. A serving works out at around 780 kcal with roughly 20 g of protein. Filed under vegetarian, weeknight dinner, quick and comfort food.
Start by cooking the fettuccine according to package instructions in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, combine the 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Let it warm through until the cream just begins to bubble gently and the butter has fully melted. Whisk in the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue whisking gently until the sauce thickens slightly, enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly to the sauce in the skillet. Toss everything together until each strand is thoroughly coated. Finish with a sprinkle of 2 tablespoons fresh parsley before serving.
